MORE ON THE ARTIST & RELEASE:

The original Readymades out of San Francisco the tail end of the 70s
Playing with Blondie , the Police, Roxie Music, Patti Smith and the Talking Heads

The Readymades were one of the most influential West Coast Punk and New Wave Bands. Produced by Sandy Pearlman (The Clash “Give’em enough Rope”) and courted by Jon Cale of the Velvet Underground.

Their single “Electric Toys” was the only independent record to be in regular rotation on KSAN who also broadcast a live half hour of their music. They played with Blondie, Patti Smith, Nico, The Stranglers, The Police, The Talking Heads, Roxy Music and DEVO amoung others at such venues as the Cow Palace, Oakland Coliseum, Starwood, Winterland and the Mabuhay. It’s best to tell the Readymades story through quotes from the press. Starting in 1977 and ending in 1979.

FOUND THIS ONLINE TOO

One of San Francisco's iconic early new wave bands, The Readymades, just put out an 18 song album, recorded in 1978... 30 years late. It's a fascinating time capsule on vinyl-- not available on CD or mp3! The band was never on the little indie label I ran, 415 Records, but I did sort of manage them and they wrote and performed a song for my radio show, The Heretics on some local station, and a song based on the name of my indie label, 415 Records. "415" is the police code for disturbing the peace-- like with loud music. Since none of their music has been available digitally, until now, I thought you might enjoy hearing it.
